The place

Hallstatt & the Salzkammergut

Hallstatt between lake and mountain, wooden boathouses and old spa towns — alpine lakes for small weddings and elopements, and snow in winter.

June is one of the easiest months to marry here.

The light

How the light falls there

Mountains drop straight into the lakes, so the sun reaches the valleys late and leaves early, and a still morning doubles everything in the water. Hallstatt faces east: its houses catch the morning sun and fall into shade early. Autumn mornings often start with mist on the water, lifting by mid-morning. At midsummer the sun sets a little after nine, earlier behind the mountains.
